Quotables from #4

On the way to my women’s group at church, I heard this from Shecklet #4:

“I have two nicknames, Disgust and Hello Kitty. [Shecklet #3] is Joy and Leia.”

No idea where she comes up with this stuff. She has been saying her nickname is Hello Kitty for a while, but Disgust was a new one – possibly due to the Inside Out band-aid she was wearing this AM. The kid cracks me up!

Quotables from #4

We had an opportunity to ride a few elevators, (or as #4 calls them,”elegators”) during our trip to STL. 🙂 Fast ones, slow ones, business ones and one in a house!

On our way back to the Sisters’ residence, we stopped at a grocery store for breakfast groceries. I said we were shopping at a local store and supporting “the little guy” instead of the big box store. #4 chimed in saying “support the little girl!”

Quotables from #4

Shecklet #4 to Uncle Tony, very matter-of-factly at the office today: “I was borned in the ambulance.”

I can’t title this

“Sometimes I hold my farts.” As told told me by Little #3 this afternoon.

I really have no response to this. I laughed for several minutes after she enlightened me. What a kid 🙂

Good for the brain

Little #1 asked, “Mom, can I do more of this tomorrow?” Referring to the math work he was doing tonight. “It’s good for my brain!”

Just swinging

We took the kids to the splash pad tonight after swimming lessons.  That may sound a little redundant, but really it wasn’t.  While Shecklet #1 is a fish in the pool, Shecklet #2 has not enjoyed his lesson experience.  We won’t be returning him to the pool (in that setting) for a while.

Anyway…it was extremely hot & humid today, so after we exited the warm junior high pool, we headed for the cool water & “spider web” as Shecklet #1 calls it.  (It’s the giant rope climbing structure at the park next to the splash pad.)

While we were there, we gave Shecklet #3 her first opportunity to swing.  She loved it!
